[Riku looks like a teenager dressed him as their favorite pop star- indeed, one has had quite the effect on his wardrobe- and he looks rather uncomfortable. The "fashionable" clothes aren't the only reason though. He's been staying very close to the house with Kai and Axel, and hasn't spoken to many other people at all since a spell hit him making him think he was in love with a male Larxene.

No, he's mostly uncomfortable because he recently awoke to find himself leashed by his collar to a hook on the wall of the grocery, just outside the doors.]

[Look, there's another Riku nearby, one that actually meant to be in that area. He's dressed more normally, in a sweater, jeans, and a scarf because damn you cold weather lately.

He's almost to the store's doors when he notices the other Riku and stops abruptly to stare.]

What the...?

[captive_destiny]

[He wishes he had something as warm as a sweater right now. The white shorts he's wearing and sheer sleeves do nothing at all for warmth. Thankfully, it isn't snowing.

Riku doesn't have much of an answer to that, and instead averts his eyes.]

[lightyin]

[This is only the second time they've ever met, and while the situation isn't as awkward, it's still weird. He's going to try to unhook Riku from the wall, if he can.]

You're going to freeze dressed like that out here.

[captive_destiny]

It won't come off.

[His voice is quiet, and a little raspy from sleep and disuse.]

[lightyin]

[Clearly he needs to get out more. And Riku's not going to stop trying to free him from the wall yet.]

You've tried it already?

[captive_destiny]

[He's hesitant to answer, even if the answer is obvious. He isn't sure if he's supposed to be waiting her for a reason. Is Kai or Axel inside the store? He has no idea.]

... Yes.

[That's quite the frown Namine's got on as she walks over to him. Why would anyone do such a thing D:]

Are you alright?

[captive_destiny]

[He hasn't seen a Namine in quite a while, and his eyes get a little bigger when he sees her coming toward him.]

I think so...?

[Luxord probably looks rather unrecognisable but also all kinds of ridiculous dressed in a big, heavy coat with an extra high collar, gloves, sunglasses, broad brimmed hat, and a scarf covering whatever bits of his face the rest missed so not a bit of skin goes uncovered complete with a parasol just in case.]

y'feeling a bit chilly there luv?

[Then again, not many people in the DR have an accent like his.]

[captive_destiny]

[The voice is certainly recognizable, even if nothing else is. Riku subconsciously straightens, his eyes focusing on where Luxord's chin should be beneath the scarf. He doesn't even think about lying, and it would be silly to when he has goosebumps across his skin.]

Yes, sir.

Well then pet, let's see what we can do about that.

[See if he was human, that could have been innuendo, but being dead and devoid of sexual interest it just means he's going to try helping.
He'll see if he can get that leash off the wall since his coat is kind of tied up in keeping him alive.]

[captive_destiny]

[The leash will come off easily, but it will be more of a challenge for Luxord to lose the leash himself. Riku's eyes grow a little wider at how easy it was.]

[gameofpretend.livejournal.com]

[Because of the whole covered head to toe thing, any actual change in expression certainly isn't going to be visible. He'll play around with attempting to drop the leash, swapping hands holding it and the like for a bit before he comes to a conclusion of the available options.]

Well, there's a few things we could do here.

[captive_destiny]

What things?

[Riku watches the leash, since trying to see what Luxord's reactions are in that getup is quite pointless. It's like watching a back-alley swindler with fast hands.]

[seasides]

[it's only by chance that Kai is out to the grocery today, though he books it toward Riku as soon as he's in view. he wasn't even inside the store! this is just cruel. he's also already taking off his jacket to give to Riku, before he even attempts to remove the leash.]

Oh my god, Riku, how long have you been out here? Are you alright?

[captive_destiny]

[Seeing someone running up to him has Riku startled, but he relaxes again when he sees who it is. It isn't until Kai's jacket is around him that he starts visibly shivering, his body reacting to the sudden warmth and letting him know just how cold he was getting.]

Not sure, but I seem to be okay... I woke up here.

[seasides]

[he's going to start trying to detach Riku from the wall now. will it work?]

I can't believe this place sometimes...

[captive_destiny]

[Riku doesn't have much of an answer to that, having come to accept many of the strange occurrences. The leash will come off the wall easily for Kai, leaving Riku staring a little. Kai will find it hard to get it to leave his own hand afterward though, mysteriously finding the leash in one of his hands no matter what he does with it, unless he were to try hooking it back to the wall.]

[seasides]

[after it switches hands a bit, he just drags his free hand down his face and sighs.]

Well, it's better than leaving you in the cold.

[captive_destiny]

Were you going inside?

[It clearly bothers Kai more than it does Riku, who looks a little guilty when he realizes what's happening.]

/needs a new character to tag all your posts with.

[What is it with you and getting stuck in bondage all the time, man? Roxas is making his way over quickly once he sees this, shrugging off his already toasty jacket to drape around Riku's shoulders.]

This place never cuts you a break, does it?

[captive_destiny]

[Roxas should see Riku's room. The sudden heat has him shivering, even as he quickly slides his arms into the jacket to hug it around himself.]

This isn't.. so bad as it could be.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Even so...

[He's kneeling down to take a look at that leash. It seems like it'll come off easy, but that's obviously TOO easy... right?

[captive_destiny]

[There doesn't even seem to be a way to detach it from his collar. Roxas would have to be looking at the other end that's clipped to the wall if he wants to get anywhere.]

Do you know if.. Kai is inside?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Yes, that's where he is looking his mun just fails to describe things properly. Roxas stands back up and glances around the inside of the building.]

I don't think so...
